Sweet tea or un-sweet?

Question

Is sweet tea really just a southern thing? Or do people in the north like it too?

Answer 1

Some in the North like it too. BUT in the south they assume everyone likes sweet tea and this is how it is served up.

In the north they serve unsweetened and let the person decide sugar or equal ? sweet or not...

SEW I hope this helps a little teensy bit

Answer 2

I think the main thing is that if you go to a restaurant in the north and ask for tea, you will get *hot* tea which you can sweeten with sugar and add lemon and / or milk to. In the south you will get a tall glass of *cold* tea, either sweet or un-sweet. At least that has been my experience when I go visit family in Maine!

Answer 3

Sweet tea is the best :)

Although im from the south i know lots of people from the north who like it too!

Answer 4

Answer 5

Mostly a southern thing, I believe but it is served up north also. We have a lot of "snow birds" that pass through this part of Georgia on their way to Florida for the winter and most of them go EW at 2 things.. Grits & Sweeet Tea!! lol

Answer 6

'Sweet Tea' certainly is a southern thing. It is mainstream in the south, like you can order it at McD and someplaces dont even have un-sweetened tea.
I mean in the south you can order 'pre-sweetened', but for the most part if you ordered it in Cali, they would just hand you a sugar packet.

Answer 7

I'm not from the south, and my iced tea can only be plain with lemon. My husband however spent a few years in the south and loves his sweet tea!

Answer 8

Sweet and I'm in the North.
